J/111 PICOSA Wins Islands Race Class

The 130 nm Islands Race drew 26 teams for the ninth edition of this Southern Californian offshore contest on February 16-17. Starting in Long Beach Harbor, the course headed west of the Santa Catalina and San Clemente Islands before finishing in San Diego. This year’s race fell on the lighter breeze side, with the wind speed never exceeding 10 knots. In the end, it was Doug & Jack Jorgensens’s J/111 PICOSA that dominated their ORR 4 Division fleet of high-performance modified custom boats.
